“Perhaps there are some decisions that are beyond thought, beyond logic, beyond science, and beyond health. Decisions that others can't help us make; things we must do for ourselves because if we don't, we'd only be cheating ourselves. There would always be complications and failures. I could have sat around thinking about the "what ifs" and "maybes". Or, I could've stood up, started running and watched what happened. I chose to run.”

“I know you were lying to me the whole night. That's OK because I lied to you too. I said I didn’t remember what I felt like before my accident, before I became the narcoleptic me. I remember what it felt like. I was awake, always awake. I didn’t miss anything. I could read books for more than a few pages at a time. I didn’t smoke. I watched movies from start to finish in real goddamn theaters, wouldn’t even leave my seat to go to the bathroom. I stayed up late on purpose. Woke up and went to sleep when I wanted. Sleep was my pet, something I control, schedule, took for walks. Sit up, roll over, lie down, stay down, give me your fucking paw. Not now, only me, and everything else is on the periphery. Just slightly out of reach or out of touch or out of time. I don’t have a real career or a real life. Ellen supports me and I sleepwalk through the rest.”
